Zocon 150 mg Tablet

Zocon 150 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine containing 150 mg of fluconazole in each tablet. It belongs to the triazole antifungal class and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections, including vaginal yeast infections and other fluconazole-susceptible infections when prescribed. Because it is a 150 mg tablet, it is a higher-strength, doctor-selected option rather than a low-dose starter form. Zocon 150 mg Tablet is manufactured by FDC, India and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungal enzyme needed to make ergosterol, a substance fungi need to build their cell membranes. In the tablet form, Zocon 150 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then travels in the bloodstream to help stop fungal growth throughout the body.

Zocon 150 mg Tablet provides a full 150 mg dose in one tablet, which is often the strength chosen for single-dose or intermittent treatment plans. Compared with the 200 mg and 400 mg tablets, this strength is lower and may be used when a prescriber wants a more moderate fluconazole dose, especially for infections that do not require the higher strengths. It should be used only when a clinician has assessed the infection and decided that 150 mg is appropriate.

• Vaginal yeast infection
• Oral thrush
• Esophageal candidiasis
• Certain skin fungal infections
• Other fluconazole-susceptible yeast infections as prescribed

• Swallow Zocon 150 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• Take it at the exact time and on the schedule your prescriber recommends; some infections use a single 150 mg dose, while others need repeated dosing.
• Do not take extra tablets to speed recovery, because this 150 mg strength is already a full prescription dose for many uses.
• If you miss a dose on a multi-dose schedule, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.
• Complete the full course if your doctor prescribes more than one dose, even if symptoms improve.

Each Zocon 150 mg Tablet contains 150 mg of fluconazole. Depending on the infection, this strength may be taken once, daily, or at another interval directed by the doctor; for most routine uses, no more than one 150 mg tablet should be taken in a day unless a clinician specifically instructs otherwise. The prescriber decides the exact dose, duration, and whether this 150 mg tablet is the right strength for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
